As a community college, Roane State can advocate access to the T-Mobile hotspots in a vareity of ways. For example:
- Our incoming freshmen are still high school students now so many of them might be eligible.
- Many of our existing students might have siblings still in K-12 so many of them might be eligible.
- Our campus has dual enrollment programs so many of those students might be eligible.
- Our campus has partnerships with K-12 programs and K-12 after-school programs, so many of these programs could partner in the outreach campaign to serve those who might be eligible.
